How Green Was My Valley

Synopsis

In the early the 20th century, the Morgans are a close-knit family living in a small pit village in the Welsh valleys. The five eldest sons and their father are all coal miners, while sensitive youngest son Huw is still at school and suffering at the hands of bullies. Life is tough for the family and they face plenty of difficult decisions as conditions worsen in the mine. Daughter Angharad is also torn, as she falls for the local preacher but is wooed by the mine owner's son. Spanning fifty years, this is a moving adaptation of the Richard Llewellyn novel.
